John honoured for support of school teams

A school’s avid supporter has been honoured for his own support helping the youngsters.

John Bolam has been named the Danone Nations Cup Match Day Hero 2015.

John was nominated by footballers from Valley Gardens Middle School, in Whitley Bay, who took part in the Danone Nations Cup football tournament, the world’s biggest football tournament for ten to 12-year-olds.

The school chose John because of all the work he does setting up pitches, travelling to away fixtures and offering support to all of the teams at the school.

To celebrate John’s success, Danone presented the Match Day Hero a special trophy and a £50 gift card as a thank you for his ongoing support to Valley Gardens Middle School football team.
